Maersk – Introduction of temporary Emergency Bunker Surcharge (EBS)Thursday, March 12, 2026

Dear Customer,
Maersk has issued the following update to the industry:
The evolving security situation in the Middle East continues to be challenging, impacting logistics and customer supply chains. 20% of global fuel moves through the Strait of Hormuz, and the current situation surrounding the strait has significantly impacted global access to fuel. To safeguard cargo integrity and maintain the stability of our network, which includes ensuring fuel availability for cargo movements, we are now taking additional proactive operational measures.
Due to the current situation, we have seen no other alternative than to implement a temporary Emergency Bunker Surcharge (EBS). This surcharge covers the impact of fuel availability, cost and mix outside of what is covered in our Fossil Fuel Fee (FFF); this means we are better positioned to have the necessary access to fuel and the ability to move it to necessary locations.
North America to All Trade Lanes
The EBS will apply globally without exception from 25 March 2026 (price calculation date), subject to regulatory approvals.
The EBS will be monitored every 14 days and adjusted if relevant —upwards or downwards—based on fuel availability, cost and mix.
Please reach out to your Hensall Global representative should you have any questions.
Sincerely,
HENSALL GLOBAL LOGISTICS |
